What do you remember about summer holidays as a kid? Whether it was pools, rivers, beaches, or running under sprinklers, staying cool was key.

For today’s guest, Tiffany, summers were spent with her younger siblings. One unforgettable day at 17 tested her swim teacher skills when both siblings struggled in the water. Staying calm under pressure, Tiffany guided them to safety with quick thinking and steady coaching.

Now a swim teacher, Tiffany uses those same skills to help parents keep their kids safe while enjoying the water.

This little love story is about family, summer memories, and learning to respect the water.
